There is positive news from the FC Bayern infirmary. Aleksandar Pavlovic is back on the training pitch, sending out an important signal. After many question marks recently, there are now signs that the situation is easing.
Aleksandar Pavlovic has returned to training at FC Bayern four days after being ruled out for the national team. The 21-year-old completed an individual session at Säbener Straße after hip problems had forced him to sit out recently.
The midfielder missed the international match against Switzerland and will also not be available against Ghana. He was also absent for the Bundesliga match against Union Berlin. Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies also continued to work individually on their comeback.
The situation surrounding Pavlovic had attracted a lot of attention in recent days. Communication surrounding his complaints remained vague, with no concrete information on how long he would be out of action. This reticence led to uncertainty in the record champions‘ environment.
Focus on key players – Bayern remain cautious
In sporting terms, the loss of the midfielder weighs particularly heavily. Pavlovic has developed into a permanent fixture in the center over the course of the season and plays a central role in Munich’s game. This is another reason why the club is pursuing a clear plan in dealing with his injury. No risks are being taken at Säbener Straße to ensure a full recovery. The focus is on carefully rebuilding the 21-year-old.
Current developments now suggest that this approach is making initial progress. The return to the training pitch is at least an important step, even if Pavlovic will initially continue to work individually. The German international should be fully fit again for Munich’s quarter-final against Real Madrid at the latest.
